It was mid day in Canterlot as Celestia sat down for her lunch brake from the day’s hard task, and this day had been one of the worst, first her shampoo had been switched with Luna’s, turning her hair into the night sky, which at first gave her a shock but with a quick spell her mane was back to normal. Celestia then went to breakfast and it didn’t take much to figure out who was behind the little prank but smiled as she looked at her beloved little sister. After breakfast she went to her throne for the day court and as she entered the nobles stood up and bowed before her as she made her way to the throne, as regal and as magnificent as always she turned to her court and bid them to take their seats so they could start the day’s business as she sat down and let a fart, or rather what could be miss construed as a fart, as she used her magic she levitated a whoopee cushion in front of her and only rolled her eyes and smiled. The day went on like this, as Celestia found the little pranks pulled where harmless if not pathetic and each time just thought it was Luna trying to rekindle the fun they used to have when they were foals. ‘I’ll have to make a little more time this evening for Luna, she must miss the time we used to spend together.’ Celestia thought, as she finished her lunch and was about to leave when two maids walked in caring a large sheet cake, with a night filled sky as the theme, and a letter on the top. “What is all this?”
“It was Princess Luna your majesty she requested that we make this cake for you, to try and boost your spirits she said you might be feeling a little down around this time.” one of the maids said, as she bowed before Celestia.
“Well thank you.” with that Celestia sat back down noticing a letter in the center of the cake. “You may go.” with that the maids left and Celestia sat back down and levitated the letter in front of her and opened it up.
“To my beloved sister;
I know today has been rather hard, and I know that we are older and should hold our selves with more dignity and that my pranks have been childish, but I wish to tell you that I only wished to try and get back that feeling we used to share when we where foals. I know I’m not the best sister in the world, and I know that I haven’t been the best princess, but I just so badly wish that you might see it in your heart to forgive me for my past miss deeds and allow me the chance to make you proud of me once more.
Love your silly little sister
Luna.” Celestia read the note and a tear started to run down her face as she folded it carefully and set it aside. ‘Oh Luna, I’ve always been proud of you.’ Celestia thought to her self as well as making a mental note that she was most certainly be trying to spend more time with Luna. Then she noticed it, in the center of the cake, it had been covered by the letter, in the middle of the night sky field was a lone white icing rose. One of Celestia’s favorite flowers, and as she looked at it, it almost seem to be taunting her, as she tried to make since of why Luna would put such a thing in the center of the cake, but as she thought back to the letter she smiled then quickly looked around, noting that no one else was in the room she leaned in close and sniffed the flower. The aroma was lovely Luna had gone the extra step to add artificial scent to this one little piece. “She did go through all this effort one little taste couldn’t hurt.” Celestia said, as she levitated the little icing flower off the cake and put it in her mouth. Oh the reaction she got from it, it was so surprising, so unexpected, and she never dreamed that such a thing could ever be. She also never dreamed the cake she was leaning over would snap shut like a book encasing her entire head in it. “Oh course she knows this means war.”
That evening at supper Luna smiled as she nursed Nightmare Moon and watched as Sly happily lapped as a bowl of milk. “You know I do wonder if you get more milk in your mouth then on your face.” Luna said, as she looked at Sly who stopped for a moment only to lick his lips wag his tail and go in for more milk. Luna only smiled as she looked at Celestia who nursing Blueblood. “Tell me Sister how was your day?”
“Very surprising.”
“Did you enjoy some cake today?” Luna asked, with a smirk getting Celestia to scowl slightly.
“Yes I did, and I wish to thank you for such a nice treat.”
“Thank nothing of it sister.”
“Oh but I insist, Tomorrow I believe we should start trying to give each other little gifts.”
“Then tomorrow we shall.”
“But only for 1 week, we do not wish to have our subjects’ thing any less of us.”
“Of course.” a few moments later Nightmare Moon and Sly sat in their crib looking at the stars when Sly looked at Nightmare Moon and nudged her slightly.
“Big sis.”
“Yes wittwe broder?”
“I’m confused by what mommy and other big pony talked about at supper.”
“They’re going to have a prank war starting tomorrow.”
“Oh, what’s a pwank?”
“A joke you play on some pony.”
“Oh, will they be funny?”
“Maybe.” with that Sly laid down and curled up close to Nightmare Moon who smiled and laid down as she draped one of her wings over him to keep him warm. “Sweet dream wittwe brother.” Nightmare Moon said as she nuzzled Sly a few times before yawning and drifting off to dream land.
It was 00:01 in the morning when the first prank was pulled; Luna was walking down the hall heading for Nightmare Moon and Sly’s room when she walked past a long thin cane. “Strange I don’t recall seeing this before.” Luna said, as she approached the cane and noticed a sign on it.
“Property of Princess Celestia
Do not touch or face the penalty of the six.” Luna read out and then scoffed at the sign as she rolled her eyes. “Oh sister it has been ages since we’ve had our prank wars but tell me this is not the best you can do.” with that Luna knocked the cane over and continued on her path to Nightmare Moon and Sly’s room when she heard a swishing sound followed by what seemed to been a thousand little needles sticking her at the same time in the flank as she jumped and yelped in pain she turned around to find no pony behind her, again the swish and again the sensation to her flank, she yelped again and glared behind her only to find once again nothing there, as the swishing sound came again she spun around in just enough time to be struck in the head by the cane sending her backwards screaming in pain as she covered her face. As she got up to run she was pursued by the enchanted item still trying to swing as her flank only missing as she was just out of reach. ’I’ll get you for this Celestia.’ Luna thought to herself as she ran into her room and slammed the door behind her. ’Oh am I going to get you for this one.’ “Discord!”
“Yes my lady?”
“I have an idea for a prank, but I’m going to need your help.”
“Oh do dish.” Discord appeared on Luna’s bed dressed in a nightgown with his hair up in curls.
“Well here is what I have in mind.” as Luna started to explain her plan, a smile slowly crossed his face. The following morning Celestia woke up and was on her hoofs knowing that Luna would most likely try something after her prank on her that morning, but as breakfast came and went with no trouble, and her morning bath was as calming as always, and as Luna retired for the day Celestia smiled.
‘Perhaps it’ll be a calm day after all.’ As Celestia walked into the throne room for the start of the day court she couldn’t help but feel as is something was different, but as she looked around she didn’t really seem to notice anything but for some reason she knew that something was different about her court. As she took the throne she sat down and smiled. “Let us begin.” Celestia said, as she smiled at her court but was then bombarded with a storm of cream pies thrown at her from every member of her court, leaving Celestia shocked and speechless as she looked at her court. It was then that she noticed it; all the ponies attending the court where wearing glasses, and then she thought back to an article she had skimmed over during breakfast, Pie Discord day. As Celestia levitated one of the pairs of glasses to her followed by a mirror she looked at her self in the mirror with the glasses and could see what had just transpired, before her wasn’t a pie covered version of her self but of Discord. It was then that she started to hear gasp and whispers starting to emerge from her court as she levitated the glasses of her face and then looked at the members of her court now in shock to find out that they had just assaulted her. “It’s alright my subjects, it seems your glasses have all been tampered with, everything is forgiven. But if you will excuse me I’ll need to freshen up a bit.” Celestia walked to her private bath chambers and washed her self clean of any remaining pie splattered on her. As she started to head back she smiled as she heard giggling coming from the foal play room and decided she would stick her head in to see how everything was going, but as she walked in she found two foals and a fox sitting behind little catapults with pies.
“FIRE!” Nightmare Moon yelled getting the three to fire their catapults and hit Celestia in the face among other areas, as she cleaned her face with her magic she noticed that all three had glasses on. “Weload and fire again.”
“I don’t think so little ones.” Celestia said, as she used her magic and removed their glasses getting Blueblood to gasp and Sly to look at her confused, while Nightmare Moon fell backwards laughing at the sight. “Yes, yes laugh it up I’m not angry seems Luna has pulled a pretty good prank on me today.” Celestia explained as she walked over to a small wash room and started to clean her face while Sly looked at the glasses now laying of the floor. “Alright your 3 I don’t want any trouble today.”
“Yes mommy.” Blueblood said, as Celestia nuzzled him and then Sly who rolled over and laughed as she tickled his tummy, but as she tried to get close to nightmare moon the little filly moved away from her. ‘Oh dear sweet little moon wont you ever let me show you that I care?’ Celestia question as she looked at Nightmare Moon then turned and left, once she did she was greeted by Kit standing at the door, and the two started to walk down the hall together. Back in the play room Sly carried a pair of glasses to Nightmare moon and set them down hopping she could answer his question.
“Big sister?” Sly tapped Nightmare Moon several times getting her to turn and smile at him. “I’m confused.”
“What are you confused about.”
“Why aunty Celestia look normal in your glasses and not in the ones me and cousin Blueblood was wearing?” with that Nightmare Moon blushed slightly as she laughed and then hugged Sly.
“Oh the spell must have worn off, come on let’s play.” the three little ones started to play while else where in the castle Celestia had just finished explaining things to Kit.
“Alright so you sent that summons for me because Luna seems to have gotten so much better at pranks since the last time you two had a prank war.”
“Yes and I was hopping you might be able to help me with a few pranks here and there just to even the playing field a little.”
“Sorry I’m not getting involved unless one of the little ones are in danger of getting hurt, I’d just prefer to watch the train wreck not be on the train so to speak.” with that Celestia seemed slightly defeated, by this news, as it took a lot for her to admit that she might need help in the prank war, in the old days she would just turn to his trusted friends star swirled just as Luna would turn to one of her few friends to help.
“Come now Celestia you already have a pretty good prankster for a friend.”
“I would ask Philomena but she is kind of involved now a days.” with that Kit nodded and then smiled slightly.
“Just tell her Discord is on Luna’s side.” with that Celestia’s head snapped to Kit’s direction in shock.
“Are you serious, my sister has enrolled Discord as a companion in this war?”
“LEMON MERINGUE!!” Discord swung from a painting dressed like Rufio from Hook smashed a pie in Celestia’s face and then absorbed into a stain glass window on the other side of the hall. Kit looked at Celestia and took a taste of the pie that was now dripping from her face.
“Not bad.” Celestia’s head snapped to Kit’s direction, as she glared at him with a look that could melt a hole through solid stone, getting Kit to stop tasting the remains of the pie on her face. “I mean who was that masked fool.” Kit pointed at the window and looked away from the currently very angry Celestia.
“He wasn’t wearing a mask, and you know who it was, now I’m going to ask you again, will you aid me in this time of war?”
“No I think I’m good.” Kit kept his back turned on Celestia, but he could still feel the stare on his back.
“Look at me Kit.”
“No I’m good just admiring the pretty window.”
“Kit give me one good reason you’re not going to help me.”
“If I took away a chance for Philomena to get Discord back she would never forgive me.” Celestia didn’t respond at first and all Kit heard was the sound of her hoof steps walking away.
“Oh thank the multi-verse.” Kit said as he let out the breath he didn’t know he was holding then looked at the window. “Coconut cream Discord, isn’t that just a little played out.” Discord’s head emerged in the window as he looked at Kit with a smile.
Loved the whole chapter. And what is Philomena involved with these days, or is it something we already made up in the comments? I hope to see the next chapter soon. I will be patient though. I don't want to badger you.
We're already up to 2707 comments?
We should sing something to celebrate. How about this?:
Or this?:
Or maybe this is more to your liking?:
was not that they had 7 years old?

That was only a dream.

CS: Oh don't worry, Philomena will be in the next chapter, and a little spoiler, Luna will sing to her little ones.
Sly: BARK! BARK!
CS: looks like some one is excited for the next chapter.
SLY: BARK! BARK!
NMM: wait what about our toys?
CS: oh don't worry the we can still play with them.
SS: flies a veritech fighter over head just before it transforms into a giant robot pony.) wait isn't this suposed to change into a giant robot?
CS: it would but me and Kit made some changes you're flying a Ponytech fighter.
4956483
SS: This is so awesome!" (I make the robot do dance moves.)
4956523
NM: Hey, where's our toys?
All the other foals: Yeah.
4957264
4956523
CS: now, now we have plenty (a few minutes later NM, SH, SS, RD, LD were flying around in ponytech fighters, while Apple bloom, Pinky pie, and Sweetie belle drove around in transforming pony tanks with party cannon turrets.)
NMM: hey what about me?
Kit: oh we have something very special for you, but you’ll need just a little help with it. (Kit snapped his fingers and Sunset shimmer, and Trixie appeared.) Now let me take you three to the LUNA-DF1
NMM: I like the name already. (As the four vanished CS turned and looked at Scootaloo and smiled slightly.)
CS: and now for you.
Scootaloo: I get something?
CS: of course you get something, what just because all the tanks and planes where gone you thought I didn’t have anything left.
Scootaloo: well I didn’t know if you had another plane hidden.
CS: well I don’t. (CS could see the slightly hurt look on Scootaloo’s face, and snapped his fingers to reveal a Cyclone with a few minor alterations and a paint job to match Scootaloo.) I do however have this Cyclone bike ready to role out.
Scootaloo: stared at the bike for several second and in a slightly shocking turn ran up and hugged CS.) Oh thank you.
CS: smiled as he looked at Scootaloo) anytime, now how about we get you suited up.
Scootaloo: Suited up? But all I need is a helmet
CS: you’re going to need more then that. (With that CS broke from Scootaloo’s hug and snapped his fingers and Cyclone armor appeared on her.) You’re going to need this.
Scootaloo: but isn’t this a bit much?
CS: you’re going to need it to have the bike transform into it’s alternative mode, and I fell a little bit better about handing over a piece of hardware that can travel 124 MPH in it’s current state (turns his head and looks at the bike.) and Fly 60 KPH in it’s armor mode, not to mention the fire power you’ll be wielding. (Looks from the bike back to Scootaloo who had a dreamy look in her eyes.) Right let me guess it was at the word fly that I lost you. (Scootaloo didn’t answer she just ran to the bike hopped on and started to look for anything to get it to change.) You’ll need your helmet on if you really want to drive it. It was mainly designed for a creature like my self, me and Kit altered it so you could control it with mostly your mind but the on board auto protect system should keep you from going splat against a wall. (with that CS snapped his fingers and a helmet appeared on Scootaloo’s head (seconds later Scootaloo shot through a fighter formation causing NM, SH, SS, and LD to take evasive actions all the while hearing Scootaloo woo-hooing through the clouds around them.)
Kit: appears next to CS and smiled) I think we did good.
CS: and once they get used to the controls, and when they say they’re ready we’ll let them fight against the monsters.
Kit: I’ve been meaning to ask you about that, are you sure about those creatures being a good enemy for them?
CS: a smart enemy against them, I think it’ll be interesting.
SS: you guys know you have your radio on right
CS: we do, it’s our way of hinting at the game you’re about to play guardians.
PP: Commander Balloons and tank stallions ready to party.
(I kept having this song popping into my head as I pictures Scootaloo in cyclone armor flying around in the clouds.)
4945891 Maybe we can Visit Nightmare and Blueblood and see a bit of the "Prank War: The Two Sisters". I'm sure it would be fun^^
I bring the Popcorn!
4982032 4968913 4956523
NM: I'll bring the soda-pop.
Spitfire: Oh no you don't. No soda-pop for my baby boys.
NM: Aww. But then what do we drink mommy?
4982435
Spitfire: I think you know what...
*Holds two bottles with milk in her wings*
Spitfire: And you will NOT be part of this "Prank War" from the Princesses.
NM/SH: Ok mommy.
NM: Could maybe Dust, Rainbow and Trixie come with us?
SH: Yeah. I think it would be fun with us all together, mommy!
You know, I don't know or at least can't remember if anypony has asked this, but I wonder if a certain rhyming somepony, er, somezebra, might join the foalified bunch, or be able to mother somepony? I think either way would be adorable in this story, if that's alright with Super-Stallion of course.
4985491
I would but I could never pull of rhyming if I was to put her in the story more people would complain how she doesn't rhyme so I'm not gonna add her for the sake of not being hastled she'll only appear for the sake of plot and stuff.
4986120 Well, now this is just a suggestion so keep an open mind, you could make it to where she is both physically and mentally regressed due some... unforeseen accident, and so she has to learn how to talk a different way. I know that might sound a bit dark, but is only a suggestion mind you.
4987301
Thanks for the tip, I'll think about it but no guarantees.
4988804 Okie dokie lokie. Wait.... why do I feel a disturbance in the harmony?....... I'm gonna get pranked on now I bet. Me and my big mouth.
4987301
4988804
Discord: or we could open a portal to the past and pull her through it and (stops when a blue box appears and a very grumpy looking man walks out.) Uh I think you're in the wrong story. (Grumpy man turns and looks at CS.)
CS: right I’m on it. (Walks up and grabs Discord's neck) Listen I’m all for a little prank here and there but time paradoxes not so much, so unless you want the grumpy old man to come back and show you his anger, I would highly suggest never suggesting such things again and that also means no trying them.
Discord: but what if I want a bug from the past.
CS: Then I'll break your hands because I know what you're trying to do, and then I'll hand you over to blue box grumpy man. (Let’s go of Discord and looks at the man.) Good?
Doctor: Blue Box Grumpy Man?
CS: oh right sorry I meant John Smith, or would you like to tell me your name?
Doctor: Don't get cheeky.
CS: Alright I'll go get Pinky
PP: LETS PARTY!!
